Frank Bidart’s new book is Half-light: Collected Poems. “No other poet sounds like Bidart,” wrote Garth Greenwell. You can hear the muscular physicality of his language, the way the sentence twists around the line breaks, never quite as expected. His work is one of the unfolding wonders of the literature of our time.”

“Richly political, finally honed like a monster being restrained but gentle enough to tell the children a story.” — Eileen Myles, author of "I Must Be LivingTwice: New and Selected Poems 1975-2014" and "Inferno (a poet's novel)"
“This immense collection of Brecht’s poems amounts to a running record of his many lives as a theorist, dramatist, polemicist, and now poet… The assembled throng gives the reader immediate access to the interior of Brecht’s restless, oceanic mind.” — Billy Collins, former Poet Laureate of the United States
“A remarkable feat in getting the erotic and political fervor and humor of Bertolt Brecht into a strong answering voice.” — Harold Bloom, author of "The Western Canon" and "The Anxiety of Influence"
“A breath of fresh air… Within the bold statements, the direct speech and the willful naivety there's a lyrical dynamism and verbal agility that allows its author to dance and skip his way through the potential pitfalls of political rhetoric.” — Simon Armitage, author of "The Story of the Iliad" and "WalkingHome: A Poet's Journey"
“His poetry served as the lyric laboratory of his personal, political, and philosophical ideas. Thanks to this astonishing compendium, English-speakers finally have access to this essential aspect of Brecht’s writing and thinking.” — YuvalSharon, director of Doctor Atomic and MacArthur "Genius Grant" recipient
“Brecht was a great a poet as he was a playwright: pungent and moving, both sharply aphoristic and generously expansive, morally committed, with a deep, complicating sense of his own mixed motives, and with unexpected moments of emotional intensity.” — Edward Mendelson, author of "MoralAgents: Eight Twentieth-Century AmericanWriters"
“We need Brecht more than ever, no less for his capacity to so movingly “take pleasure also / in the song of every blackbird after me” than for the power of his political poems and songs to take on demagogues and dickheads.” — Paul Muldoon, author of "One ThousandThingsWorthKnowing" and recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry

Collected Poems
by Alexander Therouxhttp://www.fantagraphics.com/collectedpoems
672-page 6" x 9" hardcover
$39.99 | 978-1-60699-802-1
The publication of Alexander Theroux’s Collected Poems, a gathering of more than 660 poems, an astonishing creative output, will be among the major literary events of the year. Here is a full cornucopia of sonnets, odes, ballads, free verse, triolets, pure, satires, narratives, dramatic monologues, fanciful meditations, flytings and harangues, ruminations on death and lost love, and no end of lyrics both beautiful and fierce. Taken altogether they contrive to make up a record of the author's deepest thoughts and reflect the dramatis personae of his life. Theroux captures in his work those rare, frail, but precious truths, inaccessible to the common run of men that would otherwise have vanished into nescience. Sardonic, astute, impertinent, tender, clever, warm-hearted, delphic, truculent, comic, defiantly aggressive, and often achingly personal, he shows an intensity of observation and invention.

Literary historian Don Herron has stated that the collection presents Tierney as "one of the most technically accomplished sonneteers of his generation, able to bring rhyming forms to bear on his own concerns, such as the especially nihilistic concluding poem "To the Hydrogen Bomb".

Collected Poems (H. P. Lovecraft)

Collected Poems is an illustrated collection of poems by H. P. Lovecraft. It was released in 1963 by Arkham House in an edition of 2,013 copies. The editor August Derleth, in his foreword, stated that the book contains the best of Lovecraft's poetry, as well as the second-best and even his earlier work.

Collected (DVD)

Collected (aka Seed 1) is a 2005 promotional DVD, freely distributed in limited supply by Nine Inch Nails. It is a 23-minute collection of clips from various Nine Inch Nails music videos, interview clips, and the complete video for "The Hand That Feeds", as well as an interactive "body of work" discography that appears on later releases. The DVD is censored with the exception of the "body of work" section.

While there is no scene selection menu, the Collected features 16 chapter stops:

A quick preview of the listed clips begins the DVD. (The following five clips are only contained in this preview.)

Music and lyrics

The music of Collected has predominately been described as nu metal and is noted for "kinetic, frenzied energy". On this compilation, DJ Lethal functions as a sound designer for the band, shaping their sound. According to Lethal, "I try and bring new sounds, not just the regular chirping scratching sounds. [...] It's all different stuff that you haven't heard before. I'm trying to be like another guitar player." Though the band is generally opposed to the use of solos, they allowed drummer John Otto to perform an extended solo in the middle of the song "Nobody Like You".
